Paramount's mountain logo is the oldest ident dating back to 1912 and is believed to be based on Ben Lomond Mountain in Utah. The ident above was made in 1995 and used for 4 years before there was a subtle change to it. The Paramount ident is regularly changed although this is done in subtle ways so that it is still recognisable to the audience. The flying stars add a 'magical' sense to the ident yet also suggests quality within the films.
Columbia's torch carrying lady dates back to 1914. Columbia's student ident has become a well recognised ident due to the music played alongside it. This particular ident has not been changed from the original as people are familiar with the company and can recognise the ident.
Walt Disney pictures is a very famous and well known ident. As soon as the audience see the ident, they get an idea as to the type of film they are likely to see as Disney are well known for their 'happy ending' type films. This is reflected in the ident as 'magical' music and images are used to link in with the films genre.
